Recipe for make ahead breakfast sandwiches
Ingredients:
12 Eggs
12 English Muffins
3/4 cup half and half
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1.5 pounds ground bulk breakfast sausage
12 slices of cheddar cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Crack 12 eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the half and half, onion, salt a pepper. Whisk until smooth. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch Pyrex Baking Dish. Bake uncovered until lightly browned, approximately 25 minutes. Allow to cool, then cut into 12 squares.
While the eggs are baking, toast the English muffins. I like to use my toaster oven for this. I just love my toaster oven because it is also a convection oven, and air fryer. It’s so handy we use it almost every day. If you don’t have a toaster oven, you could also place the muffins on a sheet pan and broil then for 5-10 minutes.
Divide the 1.5 pounds of bulk breakfast sausage into 12 pieces and smash into patties. Fry on the stove top until cooked through. For easy clean up I recommend using the Ballarini Parma forged Aluminum Nonstick Pan pictured. Set the sausage aside on a paper towel lined plate to cool and drain.
Once the eggs, sausage, and English muffins have cooled you can assemble the sandwiches. Place one egg square, one sausage patty and one slice of cheese in each English muffin. I recommend breaking up the cheese slices so they do not hang over the edge of the muffin. If the cheese hangs over the edge it will make a mess when you reheat the sandwich.
